Benched Between The Two Captains

CHAPTER 4

Ivy's POV

I realized that if I was gonna survive in North Ridge High, I was gonna have to prepare my mental mind, because becoming enemies with the football captian who also happens to be the most popular guy in school, meant that the entire school was my enemy...

Well not everyone.

I glanced at my new friend as she kept on telling me about how all the things we could do, and everytime she got excited she'd let out a really cute scream.

She was so adorable, she looked like a little piece of candy.

Then she shook me out of my thoughts looking at me with those huge adorable eyes of her's.

"Earth to Ivy...hellloooo are you in there?"

I shook my head, "oh yeah I'm here...what were you saying again?"

She smiled and locked her arms around mine tighter.

"I was asking what your favorite color was so we could have matching outfits together."

I laughed.

"I like the color blue."

"Omg really, mine is the color pink."

So cute.

"You're so adorable," I said as I pinched her cheeks, "you look like a little piece of candy haha"

She paused then burst out laughing.

"Well my name is actually Candy, well it's Candice but everyone calls me Candy"

"Wow really?"

She nodded again.

"Yeah that's right"

Then we began walking again, she kept on ranting on and on about Nathan and Gideon which was agonizing to hear.

Only their names alone made me cringe.

Lucky for us our houses weren't too far from each other, which made Candy really happy.

When I saw Candy's house, jaw hit the ground.

Her house was exactly like a frickin palace.

Does everyone in the school's house look like this?

Life's really not fair.

Candy insisted on me coming inside so she could quickly make a friendship bracelet for the both of us.

I wanted to refuse but she gave those puppy eyes again and I couldn't refuse her cuteness.

The inside looked more of a royal castle than a home.

Beautiful crystal chandeliers were hung everywhere, maids were dressed neatly by the corner with their heads bowed, then they all said in unison as they welcomed her.

"Welcome home Miss Mercer"

Whoa.

Talk about respect.

Candy just gave them a light wave as one of the waiters took her bag.

Then she began dragging me upstairs.

"Come on come on come on!, let's go to my room, then I'll begin making our friendship bracelets."

I nodded as she dragged me to her room.

Her room was ten times bigger than my apartment.

It was painted in bright pink which burned my eyes, teddy bears and lot's of dolls were neatly stacked on a shelf.

"Wow Candy, your room is so cute"

She giggled as she plopped on her bed,"thank youu ivy."

"Now I'm gonna start making our friendship bracelets, you can take a look at the house if you get bored okayy."

I nodded as she grabbed a box filled with lot's of beads.

I smiled as I went out of her room into the hallway.

Several paintings were stacked on the walls.

Some were beautiful, some were weirdly painted and some...

Well I had no idea what they were but I just kept on walking around.

About ten minutes later, I was still walking around and guess what?

I was lost.

Candy's house was practically a maze.

I didn't know what part of her house I was in anymore.

It was getting late and I had to do some studying.

Ughh this is so annoying.

I kept on walking then I saw another door which kinda looked like Candy's.

Or did it?

I didn't think too much about it, so I opened the door.

And I regretted that decision immediately.

Standing in front of me was a really handsome guy, he looked like a model.

He was really tall, I think he was taller than Nathan.

And he wasn't wearing a shirt.

Six abs...

I actually counted.

Ivy Ashford what is your problem?

Then his expression changed.

Boy, he looked angry.

Then his voice came out.

Loud, angry and pissed.

But it sounded hot at the same time.

"Who the hell are you?, and what are you doing in my room?"

I immediately closed my eyes with my plams and started moving back.

"Oh my gosh, I-i-Im so sorry...I didn't mean to ... I'm Candy's friend..."

I immediately turned back with my eyes closed as I fumbled for the door handle.

Was it locked?

Why wouldn't it open?

I really didn't want to open my eyes, because if I did, I'd see his bare chest.

My eyes were still closed when I heard his voice again.

"What exactly are you doing?, can't you open a door?"

I tried harder.

God this was so embarrassing.

"I-its not working...I think it's stuck?"

He scoffed.

"Move aside."

He practically pushed me hard away from the door.

My ankle twisted and I lost my footing.

"Aaahh!"

Oh God I was gonna hit my head on their expensive hard ground.

Then I felt hands on my waist, I stopped falling?

My hands immediately placed themselves on his chest.

Then I opened my eyes and he was inches away from my face.

He looked even more handsome up close, dark blue eyes, messy hair and his jawline?

It was like a Greek god's.

That made Nathan and Gideon look like kids compared to him.

He was the definition of handsome.

Then I heard Candy's voice from outside.

That snapped me back to reality.

"Ivy?, where are you?"

I couldn't let Candy see us like this, she'd probably get the wrong idea.

"U-um can you please let me go..."

He didn't say anything, Instead he kept on starring at me.

Why?

This is really a hassle.

I tried to get out of his grip before Candy came in here.

And that made everything worse.

I struggled and twisted my poor ankle again and that made both of us fall down.

I screamed again.

"Aaahh!"

Then my head hit the ground...hard.

And the handsome stranger was ontop of me.

His breathing was heavy as he stared down at me.

"Ow.."

Then the door opened and Candy came in.

"Ivy are you okay...?"
